Welcome to Cavy!
Cures for leprosy have been remarkably successful over the last 60 years reducing the number
affected from tens of millions in the 1960’s to under 200 000 in 2012. It is contagious, but not
very.
But the social stigma remains with leper colonies still existing in the parts of the world most
affected. And it’s the social stigma and the isolation from community that Jesus addresses in
Luke 5:12-16. Jesus doesn’t heal, but cleanse.
Having these people classed as ‘unclean’ and socially isolated made this disease doubly cruel.
The images of sufferers are hideous. The disfigurement can be severe.
The celebration and gratefulness of this man cured by Jesus of leprosy and restored to the
community can be imagined.
Jesus restores. Jesus doesn’t want us alone. Jesus is there for us. I’m sure we can all think of
times when we’ve been isolated socially, be it in a family gathering, workplace, or new town
setting. This is a good news story for us too.
And note the application for us as a church. Imagine the people of the town in Luke who see the
‘unclean’ man now clean. How long would it have taken to accept him, befriend him? This is
the challenge for us. Inclusive, not exclusive.
